Uryarkis: A form of Siberian lichen, valuable for its protein content when cooked, but which, when eaten raw, produces a psychotropic effect. When consumed by the Siberian musk deer, it renders the animal docile and easily caught by those seeking to sell the musk to perfumers. However, the musk so obtained is contaminated and smells like stale marijuana.

Squillimunk: Short-lived cross between a squirrel and a chipmunk. Although adept at stealing people's hearts, thanks to its silky coat and luxurious mustache, the squillimunk was even more skilled at gnawing through anything made of wood. Doors, fences, peg legs, you name it—the squillimunk would feast on it. When squillimunks began to nibble on Mr. Nigel Shrimply's treasured backyard gazebo, the frustrated retiree took it upon himself to rid the world of the mustachioed rodent. Three weeks after the first hole appeared in Mr. Shrimply's gazebo, the squillimunk was declared extinct. Four weeks later, exterminators diagnosed the gazebo with persistent termites.

Macgilliruddy: A concoction sometimes mistaken for mulligan stew. It is quite different, as it contains goat testicles and pig's blood besides most of the usual basic stew ingredients. Said to have first been made by an (Irish) army cook in the 14th century, macgilliruddy is seldom eaten today except by a few professional wrestlers. According to some, the original recipe is actually much older, having been brought to Ireland by the Vikings.

:roll: I imagine the aliens would have a difficult time playing a banjo with only three fingers on each hand.

Porcictarian - A rider of a mammoth porcupine. There was an ancient contest, where two riders would attempt to unseat each by hurling quills; often considered a precursor to jousting. The dequilling (necessary for the placement of a proper saddle) was often fatal, which is why this tradition was short lived.

schleffmackulum: An alternate name for the uvula, coined by Herr Doktor Schleffmach (the "k" in the word as posted is an anglicized form) of the Deutches-Name-Akademie, an early twentieth century foundation bankrolled by Kaiser Wilhelm II which had the mission of coming up with good German nomenclature for all the bits of nature that had effete, non-Germanic names.

gleyheadest - (Obsolete) - Describes a person who is simultaneously drunk and stubborn. It gets its roots from an old drinking game, where vikings would don their helmets, down a pint of ale, then slam their heads into the nearest wall (I may be taking some liberties with the translation there). The last man standing would win, and of course celebrate by drinking another pint of ale.

trialbrigano: an infrequently-seen dance performed in the Italian Alps by reformed bandits every ninth year on the feast day of their patron saint, whose name is a secret known only to them. The traditional music for the dance is in 4/4 time, but the dancers get one beat off for good behavior so 3/4 is more commonly heard.
